Gary,I am a new adict to your show since Itunes put it on the page.
I am catching up !

QOTD : Chateau Guiraud, Chateau Climens and on my first Father’s day Yquem !
Yquem and a foie gras poele…Mmmmmm !
p.s. I visited the bordeaux region last year and had a Tasting (primeurs) of Cos at 9h30 am….Guiraud also at the same time the next day was a lot easier…

QOTD:I’ve had a few, but don’t recall the names. I purchased the Vedrines from this year’s CAS and one or two from previous sales, but gave them as gifts. Not a big fan of dessert wines. Have an Austrian Kracher in the cellar and do enjoy an occasional Port.

Well, I can say I knew you when… You are getting out of touch with the daily wine drinkers. Still entertaining, but like a window at the mall – no one actually buys or dresses that way. I guess that is normal, the goal is to become a super star and not stay between “internet wonder” and “over the top has been”. Both wines unavailable?? How am I relating to this?

I have watched 400 or more shows, so don’t think me a snob, newbie, or red neck. smile.
No one has done what you have – you should be proud. What is next?

Hmm. is this transferable?

I will continue to watch and post. Love the Cabs under $20 type shows. Love the French wines to reach to occasionally. You are reaching star-dom and your peebs can’t buy most of your wines tasted. Well, some. I could, but won’t.

QOTD: Sauternes, yes. I’ve had a few. they are good.

thanks for the good show.

Big baller today Gary and I LIKE it!

QOTD: I don’t know which brands, but every Sauternes I’ve tried (and there have been at least 5), I’ve loved, which is very different for me, since I don’t usually like the taste of wine. I wish I could be specific, but I guess I’m working in vaugeries today.

QOTD – Still havent had a Sauternes – mostly because the cloying sweetness on many desert wines has turned me off to the catagory – maybe I just need to have a good one to turn that corner

QOTD: That would be the first one I will have in the near future….

Hi Gary! Another great show! I was wondering how your top wines were in your book. Great show!

QOTD: Hm, I’ve bought people Sauternes for presents actually, but never tried one myself. Will have to do that soon!

Gary, I really like the idea of you tasting the wines in your book live. Great experience for those of us who have the book.

Favorite Sauternes is 2001 ChÃ¢teau de Fargues. Great episode Gary, but go to some QPRs from Rousillon or Saumur. I am more convinced than ever that there is great wine from other regions that gives just as much pleasure.

Nice, on-site tastings from the book are fantastic. The passion really came through today… and I really like the quick explanation on why we should trust our own palates’, even on a clearly fantastic desert wine.

QOTD: Haven’t had one, but I just ordered one the other day!!! I don’t roll deep enough (yet!)

Finally caught up after missing a week.

QOTD: Never had one but next time I go pick up some wine I’ll look for it.

Hrmmm, I *know* I’ve had a sauternes, but I can’t say I’ve even the slightest recollection what I’ve thought of them, which means I wasn’t super-impressed — certainly, at least, not nearly so much so as you are with the Doisy! I’ll give it another go, though, so next time I’m downtown (tomorrow, probably) it’s Israel and sauternes!

QOTD: I believe I had a sauterne at a wine tasting class in 1994.

I couldn’t watch the bouncy video. I scrolled down and listened to the audio. I didn’t want to miss a show.

QOTD: Haven’t had one. What am I waiting for? I’m waiting for the one I ordered from WLTV yesterday to get here.

Odd that you compared the first wine to Patrick Ewing; from your description it sounds as though it would have actually won a championship

2001 Chateau Suduiraut…one of 2 wines I’ve ever scored 100pts.

I guess I need to pick up some of those 2005 Cos at Costco for $182???

QOTD: I’m waiting til my 21st B-day. I’ve definitely decided that I’m going to a wine-tasting for my celebration, rather than a bar. Thanks for all the inspiration Gary, keep it up!

Hooray for the Thundershow! So inspiring. I watch your show every night and I am always inspired to try new things. I’ve never had a Sauternes. I should, I must and I will…soon.

Very nice show though unfortunately its going to be tough to find those wines after your book hit the stores. I’ve had maybe 5 of your wines from the book and it took a major effort to find those.

QOTD: I have a few in the cellar but none stand out in my mind that I would remember the name/vintage. If I find the Doisy, I will let you know.

I have a quick question for you. Since you had the ‘89 Haut Brion and were not impressed, is the ‘95 still too young? I was thinking about sharing a glass with you if it was currently worthy.

I had Yquem at a friend’s birthday party about 5 years ago. I forget the vintage, but it was young. Still great stuff.

Nice show. Planning on picking up some Doisy this week and giving it a go, perhaps with some D’Artagnan foie gras pate.
